Located in the University Enterprise Laboratories business incubator in St. Paul, the tiny three-person firm is on the cusp of rolling out its core (and so far, its only) product — a unique knee brace that, according to the company, provides temporary relief of joint pain and arthritis and, longer term, reduces swelling and pain.
The company’s knee system combines heat with pulsed electromagnetic field technology — electrical energy that sends a series of magnetic pulses through injured tissue to reduce swelling and, by extension, pain. John Dinusson, OrthoCor’s CEO, says that therapy has been around for decades, as has the use of heat to treat joint pain. But the OrthoCor device is unique because it combines the two, he adds.
